Wheel sizes

[Ciurro]

I have a '95 240sx with four lug pattern. I want to get the ADR M-Sport wheels and don't know if they will fit. They are 18x7.5. I don't want to roll my fenders or anything. Anyone know, or know were I could find out. Thanks

[Tubed4evr]

sure they'll fit as long as you have a proper offset. (look for something in the range of +35mm to +20mm for that width rim)
Do you have any other restrictions (i.e. coilovers, 300z brakes)

Sounds like a good looking size.

I'm not going to asume anything, so I'll say that it'll look awful unless the car is lowered.

I've seen 19" x ??"(9" i think) on an s14 w/out having to roll fenders, dono what offset though.

[Ciurro]

I have no coilovers. I plan on lowering it, and the offset is +35. Sound good?

[Tubed4evr]

that ll work fine. If you decide you want to bring it flush with the fender it'll take a 10-15mm spacer but it will look fine as is also.

hey those are nice wheels Tubed4evr, what are the specifics on them and what did you pay? I assume they aren't the cheap version since the offset looks around +30 or so. Do those come in 18s? How wide are they?

[Ciurro]

What is the difference between HMC Silver and crome, and what do you mean by bringing it flush with the fender, would it look bad if it wasn't flush?

What do you like more?

Rolling the lip is the the last thing you have to worry about. The offset and width that the wheel you are looking at will come no where near the fender lip. What size of tire are you planning on running?

[Ciurro]

I'm planing on putting 18x7.5 on with +35 offset. They are ADR
M-Sports. But I don't know waht the difference is between HMC Silver and crome so I don't know what one I'm going to get.

[Ciurro]

The tires I was looking at were 225/40 or 235/40 or even a 35 tire

[NiteKids]

Do they offer those wheels in anything wider then 71/2? If I were you I'd go atleast 8inch. If not do you know if they have it available an a lower offset? I'm guessing most likey not for either one of them.

You sure they even come in an 18x7.5? Checking out the site looks like only 18x8.5 or 18x9.5? Also looks like only Hyper Silver on those rims. Hmm, if I get a chance, I will give my buddy a call since he works for Golden Apple (the ADR Wheels Distributor).


BTW, here is the Wheel Chart Color Guide for ADR.

Typically, IIRC, a wheel comes in EITHER HMC Silver OR Chrome, not both, because they are actually fairly similar. Chrome is a plating that goes on the wheel and over time, might eventually flake off (this is when you get them re-chromed). HMC Silver on the other hand, I believe is more like a Polished wheel, where it will always be that shiny since the wheel was designed like that or polished to become that (although this is NOT a polished wheel, so please don't confuse the two) way.

If you go on bigwheels.net they have them in 18x7.5. I don't want to go wider because I don't want the steering and handling to go down.

[uiuc240]

trust me, go at least 8". i WISH i had done that when i bought my wheels. oh well, they've served me well for 3 years now...it'll be time for something new soon enough. hello Rays Wheels.
